Question Correct Rod and Piston Placement

Im currently rebuilding a 03 5.4 triton engine and was curious as if the Bearing tangs in the rod go towards the inside of the engine or outside i know they match up and your pistons show the arrow for the front of the engine but if i do that bank #1 will have the rods backwards fron bank #2

If you look closely at the rod big end you will see that one side is chamfered a little and the other side is not. The chamfers go towards the outside of the rod journal and the square sides go towards each other.
